On my still kinda new to me O'Day 35 I've had a fairly large ToDo list. I'm now at the point where I need to (and time to) replace the stock (and original) air filter.
I've seen the simple K&N filter replacement that the Compass Marine site wrote up. I like it, but wondering about one step further. If I make a simple air silencer (like on car air takes), and upsizing the filter a touch to maintain air flow.
In the upcoming year I hope to addresse engine compartment ventilation and possible improvements to sound insulation.
Not a lot of sound comes through the air intake, but every but helps. If I can minimize this sound, I hope that the other future projects could result in a much quieter running engine.
So anyone try to make an air intake silencer?
If not, I will take pics. Though it is sailing season and I would not hold my breath on when they will be posted here.
